How do computers perform arithmetic operations?


assistant
Computers use binary numbers and binary arithmetic to perform arithmetic calculations. Binary arithmetic is the process of manipulating binary numbers to perform calculations. Binary numbers are composed of a series of ones and zeros, which represent the various numbers in the base-2 numerical system. Binary operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, can be performed by manipulating the bits, or individual ones and zeros, in a binary number.
